arena314 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hey all so my banshee has been back together since about June and I've put a solid 13 hours on it. I was up in Vermont last week riding some streets and fields so I was doing plenty of pulls and high speed runs and it runs awesome but towards the end of the trip something started to feel a little off. Everything feels fine starting off but it seems to get into powerband very quickly and scream through but doesn't feel like all the power is being put to the ground. I thought maybe its the wheels spinning but I was looking behind me I don't think thats the case it almost seems to me like the clutch is starting to slip at wot and I feel it more in the lower gears. Could it be that I need more clutch? I put a driveline drag clutch and billet clutch basket with 3 oem springs and 3 stiffer spring in like 2 seasons ago so I didn't replace it during the rebuild but wondering if the extra power is a little to much for it? I have a driveline 4 mil in it with ported stock cylinders a pro design coolhead open airbox with k&n vforce reeds t5 pipes +4 timing and some shifting mods with a stock trany. Think its time for a lock up? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Swap out the 3 OEM springs for the 3 stiffer ones and see if that makes a difference. If not, you probably need a new clutch and all 6 stiff springs from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arena314 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I ordered a new clutch I got the same one again. you think just the 3 springs will make that big a difference? Will a lock up damage the factory trans?Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arena314 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 ok so I will probably just go with the same clutch but with all heavy springs instead of half and half and see how it goes. Do you think the slipping can be caused by something else like maybe the pressure plate or improper adjustment or something? The clutch seemed to have good life left before going back together and 13 hours later its slipping Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 You should definitely check clutch parts for wear. Sometimes a new clutch is just a band aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arena314 Posted October 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 the basket was replaced maybe 20 hours ago or so with a billet driveline basket im sure that'll be good but I didn't replace the pressure plate what should I watch out for when I pull it apart Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Pressure plate and inner hub are relatively cheap. I always start with new when going to a new basket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qliphoth Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 i had the same issue half a year ago. i purchased the EBC Carbon Fiber Clutch. the Kit comes with stronger springs. cost me around 130 bucks in € maybe you'll get it a litle cheaper. no issues since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversmg45 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Also make sure your running the right oil. An automotive oil will have anti friction additives that will cause your clutch to slip. Make sure your running oil designed for this type of clutch.
